True Blood (HBO)

Eggs was in the books, too? I'm not sure what his fate in the books is, but I just can't see the writers of the show doing anything with his character after his season. I get the inkling that Maryann has to have her sacrafice in order to leave, and it ends up being Eggs.

The only thing about Eggs that's the same in the books is his name. He's just another in a line of Tara's boyfriends. Really, we don't see much of Tara for the first few books and she's completely different from the character in the show.

It's a good theory about his fate too. I wouldn't be too sad if he got offed. I liked Tara with Sam.

I'm not impressed with his character, nor his name. I think he could leave and no one would miss him.

Thanks for clearing that up about the books. It's obvious Maryann won't get ahold of Sam for her sacrafice, and I'm pretty sure she can't die, so the only reasonable explanation I can think of her leaving is if she gets her sacrafice. The only problem is, I can't see how or why Eggs would be a satisfying sacrafice for her. I'd think she'd want to sacrafice something more powerful, like Sam.

But isn't sacraficing Sam almost the same as sacraficing Daphne, since they were both shape-shifters?

I do agree that he seems pretty bland, and I'm not too impressed with his acting skills.

The only good thing about Eggs are his abs. Believe it!

But to answer your question, Eric seems to prefer women.

He does talk about his sexual relationship with his maker - who is NOT Godric (or Godrey in the book) - in book 9, although it's not something he was enthusiastic about. I think he basically says he learned to deal with it and, heck, knowing Eric, he probably got to like it.

On another note: Happy 33rd Birthday to Alex Skarsgard!!!

I DO NOT want to see Eric in pink spandex w/wo a boa and I DO NOT want him to be bi-sexual!!! He is much much hotter and sexier as a hetero vamp. Layfayette is terrific and does the masc/fem thing very well, but he is enough. Eric as a manly, sexy vamp who will bite anyone regardless of gender, but only will have sex with females can be my fantasy. However, if he is bi - there goes any fantasy I have or desire to see him with Sookie. I don't want Bill to be bi either (guess I won't be reading the books).

I think in the 2nd book, Tara and Eggs were engaged. From what I recall, Eggs was the one into the orgy thing, and she was just a go-a-longer. In the books,

Have no idea how Alan will rid us of MaryAnn, I just hope that he does!

A few seasons ago on Desperate Housewives, he played the neighbor with the mentally disturbed brother they kept locked in the basement. The one that dated Danielle, Bree's daughter. I didn't like him then, either.

Their sexuality is not an over riding theme in the book other than with characters like Pam. It's mentioned in passing for the most part. I don't know I'm indifferent to their sexual preferences. Figured, like I believe was mentioned in the book, that he's been around so long that you tend to experiment at some point. But then again bisexuality is normal for me.
